I'm going to talk about some simple I'm going to talk about some simple animation and what part runs are so animation and what part runs are so animation and what part runs are so effectively here I have a simple uh effectively here I have a simple uh effectively here I have a simple uh two-point move uh currently I have on two-point move uh currently I have on two-point move uh currently I have on here a rather strange setup with a uh a here a rather strange setup with a uh a here a rather strange setup with a uh a probe lens but I'm going to just run probe lens but I'm going to just run probe lens but I'm going to just run this and shoot okay this is my simple this and shoot okay this is my simple this and shoot okay this is my simple move and and I'm going to now run just move and and I'm going to now run just move and and I'm going to now run just part of it so the reason for Running part of it so the reason for Running part of it so the reason for Running part of it is it may be that you want to part of it is it may be that you want to part of it is it may be that you want to do something in the middle uh like uh do something in the middle uh like uh do something in the middle uh like uh change something in that happens halfway change something in that happens halfway change something in that happens halfway through the move or you're doing through the move or you're doing through the move or you're doing animation where you want to shoot a animation where you want to shoot a animation where you want to shoot a certain section of it so as an example certain section of it so as an example certain section of it so as an example to do animation uh rather than pressing to do animation uh rather than pressing to do animation uh rather than pressing uh shoot when you're in ready to uh shoot when you're in ready to uh shoot when you're in ready to shoot which is here you have this shoot which is here you have this shoot which is here you have this forward step button here so if I do forward step button here so if I do forward step button here so if I do forward step I'm just to clarify I'm forward step I'm just to clarify I'm forward step I'm just to clarify I'm currently here in stop motion it'll take currently here in stop motion it'll take currently here in stop motion it'll take the frame if I have a camera that can the frame if I have a camera that can the frame if I have a camera that can take one frame so it'll it'll be take one frame so it'll it'll be take one frame so it'll it'll be triggered the camera will be triggered triggered the camera will be triggered triggered the camera will be triggered by flare to take one frame and then by flare to take one frame and then by flare to take one frame and then it'll move to the next position ready to it'll move to the next position ready to it'll move to the next position ready to take the next frame so here we take the next frame so here we take the next frame so here we go okay and go to the next frame and you go okay and go to the next frame and you go okay and go to the next frame and you see it's moving now obviously at the see it's moving now obviously at the see it's moving now obviously at the start of the move there isn't a lot start of the move there isn't a lot start of the move there isn't a lot happening because it's gradually happening because it's gradually happening because it's gradually accelerating accelerating accelerating so it's doing it very slowly it's taking so it's doing it very slowly it's taking so it's doing it very slowly it's taking little tiny baby steps but you can see little tiny baby steps but you can see little tiny baby steps but you can see those baby steps are those baby steps are those baby steps are increasing what I'm going to do now is increasing what I'm going to do now is increasing what I'm going to do now is rather than run it from the very start I rather than run it from the very start I rather than run it from the very start I want to say I'm going to start from want to say I'm going to start from want to say I'm going to start from let's say frame uh 30 so frame 30 I'm let's say frame uh 30 so frame 30 I'm let's say frame uh 30 so frame 30 I'm going to run to frame going to run to frame going to run to frame 60 okay and you'll see here the timeline 60 okay and you'll see here the timeline 60 okay and you'll see here the timeline has become has become has become shorter uh it's still the full timeline shorter uh it's still the full timeline shorter uh it's still the full timeline from zero to frame 100 but the blue from zero to frame 100 but the blue from zero to frame 100 but the blue section start start S here which is section start start S here which is section start start S here which is frame 30 and ends here at frame 60 and frame 30 and ends here at frame 60 and frame 30 and ends here at frame 60 and when I press forward run instead of when I press forward run instead of when I press forward run instead of going to frame zero it'll go to frame 30 going to frame zero it'll go to frame 30 going to frame zero it'll go to frame 30 this is where it is at frame 30 and this is where it is at frame 30 and this is where it is at frame 30 and again I can press shoot and shoot the again I can press shoot and shoot the again I can press shoot and shoot the entire thing or I just press forward entire thing or I just press forward entire thing or I just press forward step and it'll take one step take the step and it'll take one step take the step and it'll take one step take the next step and so on okay now this is next step and so on okay now this is next step and so on okay now this is what we refer to as stop motion so it'll what we refer to as stop motion so it'll what we refer to as stop motion so it'll take the frame when the camera is take the frame when the camera is take the frame when the camera is stationary sometimes you want to do stationary sometimes you want to do stationary sometimes you want to do what's called moving step or uh create what's called moving step or uh create what's called moving step or uh create motion blur or go Motion is another word motion blur or go Motion is another word motion blur or go Motion is another word for it and with moving step what happens for it and with moving step what happens for it and with moving step what happens is that the rig will do a small pre-roll is that the rig will do a small pre-roll is that the rig will do a small pre-roll which means it'll go backwards a little which means it'll go backwards a little which means it'll go backwards a little bit get up to speed and then when it bit get up to speed and then when it bit get up to speed and then when it gets to frame gets to frame gets to frame 33 it'll effectively be at the same 33 it'll effectively be at the same 33 it'll effectively be at the same speed as if it was running one speed as if it was running one speed as if it was running one continuous motion at 25 frames per continuous motion at 25 frames per continuous motion at 25 frames per second it'll Tri trigger the camera and second it'll Tri trigger the camera and second it'll Tri trigger the camera and then it'll effectively just do a post then it'll effectively just do a post then it'll effectively just do a post roll which means it'll slow down and roll which means it'll slow down and roll which means it'll slow down and come back to where it should have come back to where it should have come back to where it should have stopped okay so let's do that so here we stopped okay so let's do that so here we stopped okay so let's do that so here we go little pre-roll post roll okay go little pre-roll post roll okay go little pre-roll post roll okay pre-roll post pre-roll post pre-roll post roll pre-roll post roll so now we're back at frame 30 okay roll so now we're back at frame 30 okay and the other option I have is to change and the other option I have is to change and the other option I have is to change whether it's a single step which is what whether it's a single step which is what whether it's a single step which is what I'm doing currently or continuous step I'm doing currently or continuous step I'm doing currently or continuous step so if I go back to stop motion because so if I go back to stop motion because so if I go back to stop motion because it's kind of easy to see rather than all it's kind of easy to see rather than all it's kind of easy to see rather than all the squirty things so I am going to go the squirty things so I am going to go the squirty things so I am going to go forward step takes a frame move to the forward step takes a frame move to the forward step takes a frame move to the next one text frame move to the next one next one text frame move to the next one next one text frame move to the next one but let's say I've now finished my but let's say I've now finished my but let's say I've now finished my animation or the things I want to change animation or the things I want to change animation or the things I want to change and I just want to take the next step and I just want to take the next step and I just want to take the next step continuously so what I would do is I continuously so what I would do is I continuously so what I would do is I would say continuous would say continuous would say continuous and then I press the button and it will and then I press the button and it will and then I press the button and it will now take one frame each time triggering now take one frame each time triggering now take one frame each time triggering the camera in between okay but I'm going the camera in between okay but I'm going the camera in between okay but I'm going to and when I'm if I want to stop it I to and when I'm if I want to stop it I to and when I'm if I want to stop it I just press back to single and it will just press back to single and it will just press back to single and it will stop and wait for me to take next frame stop and wait for me to take next frame stop and wait for me to take next frame manually the thing about this is that manually the thing about this is that manually the thing about this is that you can also assign buttons on the you can also assign buttons on the you can also assign buttons on the keyboard to take the next frame or even keyboard to take the next frame or even keyboard to take the next frame or even if you make a mistake go back a frame so if you make a mistake go back a frame so if you make a mistake go back a frame so this allows me to go back a frame or this allows me to go back a frame or this allows me to go back a frame or what you can do is you can assign your what you can do is you can assign your what you can do is you can assign your uh handheld box or your Gamepad or uh handheld box or your Gamepad or uh handheld box or your Gamepad or whatever USB device you have connected whatever USB device you have connected whatever USB device you have connected to control it you can assign it to a to control it you can assign it to a to control it you can assign it to a button uh so for example down here button uh so for example down here button uh so for example down here you'll see there are various other you'll see there are various other you'll see there are various other functions and one of them will be functions and one of them will be functions and one of them will be forward step and if you select forward forward step and if you select forward forward step and if you select forward step then that will use that so for step then that will use that so for step then that will use that so for instance here we have forward step back instance here we have forward step back instance here we have forward step back step and I can assign it to a button and step and I can assign it to a button and step and I can assign it to a button and then use that instead part runs can run forwards or instead part runs can run forwards or backwards so I can go from 30 to 60 or backwards so I can go from 30 to 60 or backwards so I can go from 30 to 60 or if I guess press for back run it'll go if I guess press for back run it'll go if I guess press for back run it'll go from 60 to from 60 to from 60 to 30 exactly the same way now you might 30 exactly the same way now you might 30 exactly the same way now you might want to do uh time-lapse rather than want to do uh time-lapse rather than want to do uh time-lapse rather than doing stop frame animation and in the S doing stop frame animation and in the S doing stop frame animation and in the S effect menu up here in film effects effect menu up here in film effects effect menu up here in film effects there are various options to do with um there are various options to do with um there are various options to do with um animation taking single frames and also animation taking single frames and also animation taking single frames and also time lapse so for example if I do five 5 time lapse so for example if I do five 5 time lapse so for example if I do five 5 Seconds Seconds Seconds here here here apply okay and then press forward run apply okay and then press forward run apply okay and then press forward run instead of pressing shoot again I instead of pressing shoot again I instead of pressing shoot again I press forward step I make sure it's in it's in continuous and do that and now every 5 continuous and do that and now every 5 continuous and do that and now every 5 Seconds it'll move to the next Seconds it'll move to the next Seconds it'll move to the next frame okay doing its time lapse
